Waterproofness

Waterproofing is a fabric's ability to prevent rain water from passing through. A fabric's waterproofing is determined by measuring its resistance to the pressure exerted by a water column, measured in mm (test based on ISO 811 standard). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. Material with a waterproof rating of 2,000 mm resists the pressure exerted by 2,000 mm of water (which roughly corresponds to a 2-hour rain shower).

Breathability

To determine whether a fabric is breathable, we measure its evaporative resistance (test based on standard ISO 11092). The lower its resistance, the more the fabric will let water vapour produced by the body escape, and therefore the more breathable it is. For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric.

Care tips

Machine wash inside out on a synthetics cycle at 30°C. Do not use too much detergent and do not use fabric softener. Ideally, dry on a hanger in a warm, well-ventilated place.

Environmental impact

A product's environmental impact is calculated for its entire life cycle using various indicators. An overall rating (ABCDE) is given, allowing you to easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing similar products to each other (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.).

Decathlon openly displays the environmental ratings of its products.To find out more: http://sustainability.decathlon.com/
